>> reporter: good morning to you. nelson mandela came to the bay area shortly after his release from a south african prison. at the time the bay area was active in the anti-apartheid movement and as you can imagine, welcomed him with open arms. >> bay area. sisters and brothers. >> reporter: nelson mandela visited the oakland coliseum and made a huge impact. 60,000 people packed the coliseum just for a chance to hear him speak. the bay area of course supported mandela for years to try and dismantle apartheid in south africa. anti-apartheid protesters staged campus protests nationwide. some of the largest at uc-berkeley, in 1986 california became the largest government in the u.s. to divest of south

african investments. paul cobb was arrested at a berkeley protest, and deputy mayor swanson was a staff member for ron dellums. >> oakland was the symbol of the city that fought and constantly held the nation's feet to the fire. >> with his passing, we can't help but celebrate his life because it was one that embodied the spirit of gandhi and a martin luther king. >> reporter: mandela was also impressed and aware that long shoremen in oakland refused to unload a south african ship and did that in 1984, as you mentioned t south african president zuma announced that a state burial is planned for december 15. reporting live in oakland,

christie smith, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much. we of course will have much more on nelson mandela's legacy on air and on line at nbcbayarea.com. you'll find photos of his life plus more video from his amazing visit to the bay area. again that's nbcbayarea.com, search nelson mandela. >> happening now, amber alert in effect state wide for 14-year-old elizabeth romero who is missing more than 36 hours after her abduction. she disappeared in washington, now investigators say she and her abductor may be on the way to mexico. bob redell sin our newsroom with details. you got some new surveillance video of the abduction. we're calling it abduction because this is a 14-year-old girl. she may have gone willingly. >> reporter: right. elizabeth's family believes she is traveling with her 19-year-old boyfriend seen in that photograph. according to her family romero has been dating rosales for a

few weeks, the last reported sighting wednesday afternoon around 2:30 outside her school in washington. she was captured by the school surveillance camera, you see her walking into frame from the left, crosses the parking lot, then gets into that parked suv. chp wants you to keep an eye out for that vehicle, they tell us that it's a 2001-03 green ford escape. you can see a roof rack, has custom wheels. it has no license plate. chp tells us that's why they have not lit up the highway signs for the amber alert. the information is too generic. there is another look at elizabeth romero, 5'3", 130 pounds, brown hair, brown eyes, last seen carrying a back pack and pink purse. and eduardo rosales, 5'9", 200 pound, black hair, brown eyes, her family believes the pair is headed to mexico and possibly heading through the bay area.

reporting live in the newsroom, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> it's another chilly start to the morning. really has been all week. here is a live look outside. oakland and san jose. most of the area is under a freeze warning with temperatures in the low 30s. the only part that is not under a freeze warning is still san francisco. but just because it's not freezing doesn't mean it won't feel like it's freezing when you head out the door. >> this morning we have team coverage in place. we'll check with christina loren and mike inouye. let's start with chase cain live in martinez where an overnight water main break could mean icy conditions. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. i heard you guy sas that san frano is the only part of the area not under a freeze warning. i noticed because i live in san francisco and it does feel much warmer there than here in martinez where we are at the freezing mark. that is likely why public works officials say a water main busted last night. check out this video from a few

hours ago. late yesterday evening, water was gushing down the avenue here near martinez boulevard. it took a couple hours to get that water turned off and the pipe patched up. that meant there was water in the road. they had to spread stand. further to the south people woke up yesterday in san jose with ice kels from the trees. that was a clear sign of how cold it was as records were broken across the bay area. s in san jose they had to de-ice planes before they took off. back to the north in wine country napa set a record low, we're hearing they may set another this morning. that was cold enough to completely freeze a fountain there in wine country. back in martinez on the road you'll see it's dry, there is no ice. did a good job of getting the

sand and the salt down on the roads so cars are able to move through. if you are heading out, traveling across the major bridges or overpasses here in the bay area, please do take care, there were inches of clack ice out yesterday. that means the potential is there for there to be more black ice on your commute. the latest live, chase cain, "today in the bay." >> watch out for that black ice and if you're headed to the tahoe area. this is a look at highway 50 at meyers, if you plan to head to tahoe here's what you need to know. winter storm warning in effect from tonight through tomorrow morning. higher elevations could see up to one foot of fresh powder. right now no chains are required but it's likely to change as snow saturdays to fall later today so. always keep them with you if you are headed up there. snacks, a blanket. >> it can get serious.

christina loren volunteered to come in to work tomorrow. >> good morning. you :xkknow, it's rare when we an opportunity to see snow fall down to 500 feet. we mostly expect a mix of rain and snow. we have a complety good chance tomorrow morning. if you are going to be headed to tahoe you want to keep in mind we have snow levels down to 500 feet. they are going to be dropping very low. we could see road closures. you want to stay tuned to the weather conditions. we're at 39 in san francisco. not as cold as yesterday. 25 degrees, cold enough across the part. throughout the day it's going to stay chilly. but chase loves records, our reporter out on the field, i wanted to give you an idea how many cities across the bay area stand a chance of breaking temperature records. these are where we expect the temperatures to fall the next couple hours. and just about every hajer city across the bay area has a chance

of seeing those possible -- we've gone ahead and marked them. so that's what we're watching. i hate to say it. this isn't even the coldest morning as we head through the next four days. showers start to move in, our temperatures are going to stay cold as a result. as we head through about 8:00 p.m. tonight, santa rosa some activity, it moves south as we head through saturday morning. i'm going to let you know what this means. i wanted to show you quickly between san jose and gilroy. what's this, 101. that could be dangerous tomorrow morning. >> right now it's not pink. it's not snowing. highway 50 is okay. we're watching that to change over the weekend. the potential for snow. bay bridge toll plaza, a look and the cash lanes are backed up. metering light are not yet on. the volume off of the east shore freeway not presenting a problem right now.

you have the wait there but there is a new fender-bender in 185 at the toll plaza.%./ it should move quickly. a look at the maps, an issue that might be affected by the weather. we talked about the cold weather. we've seen ice reports of ice and spin-ups on the durand bridge north 280 north of 92, as you head over the open space at crystal springs road. reservoir is to the west. that's where we've had ice the last few days. no reports this morning but use caution through the area. south 880 at marina boulevard reports of debris, a big rig reported hitting it but the cars reporting they have flat tires so watch for slowing out of downtown oakland no. problems in the commute direction as well. a look to the tri-valley, the build is on for 580 through the tri-valley. and san jose, we'll end with this shot of 101 northbound at 680. back to you.

storm. supplies were flying off shelves in stores around the arkansas area. so hopefully people are hunkering down and ray staying off the roads and not getting out here in this mess. that's it for us here in little rock. back to you guys. >> thank you very much. that is a reminder. for all of the complaining we do. >> they have looks so cold out there. >> yes. good morning, christina. >> i feel terrible. in this heated studio. 23 degrees is cold but yeah, it is not snowing. we don't have precipitation yet. things are going to change into tonight. 37 degrees in the east bay, the peninsula at 35 degrees, 34 in the south bay, so cold enough for frost but not as cold as yesterday. we had a lot more 20s that the time yesterday. microclimate forecast shows you just about every city across the bay area. the upper 40s to low 50s. 52 in mill valley, 50 in fremont, 52 in oakland.

good morning to you. it's another chilly start to the morning. a live look outside. oakland and san jose this morning. most of the bay area under a freeze warning today with temperatures in the low 30s. the only part of the bay area that's not is san francisco. but just because it's not technically freezing doesn't mean it won't feel freezing when you head out the door. >> this morning we have a team in place keeping an eye on the weather. we're going to check in with christina loren and mike inouye shortly. let's start with the guy who is outside in it this morning. chase cain live in martinez where a water main break could mean icy conditions on the roads. good morning, chase. >> reporter: good morning. if i learned anything from christina it's coldest right before the sun rises. and i think that's where we are right now. i believe it is really cold out here in martinez.

and because it's been cold for the last couple nights that's why public works crews believe a water main broke. check out video from a few hours ago. we were here along pa chako boulevard. there was water gushing down the streets. they had to shut the water off and fix the pipe, then try to get the water out before the temperatures dove overnight because they knew that would be a mess. fortunately they were able to get that all cleaned up before this morning drive. furthest to the south people have woken up yesterday morning to icicles hanging from branches in san jose. that was a visual sign of what they felt when they walked out the door which was cold. record breaking cold, in fact, for many. planes had to be de-iced across the bay area yesterday. also in wine country, in napa, look at this. a fountain frozen solid. no water running on that as napa set a record low down in the teens last night. and likely almost as cold this

morning as people are waking up all around the bay area. back live in martinez, you can see there is still some sand on the boulevard, cars are able to drive through with no problem. they were able to prevent ice from forming. but there is the definite possibility of ice, black ice, the most dangerous kind, on the bay area roadways and bridges, yesterday morning a couple of cars spun out when they hit patches of black ice. so take care as you cross any of the bridges over the water or even overpasses over the freeways because you could run into some trouble spots there. that is the latest live in martinez, chase cain, "today in the bay." >> good advice. thanks. you know the cold weather has forced survivors of the attack on pearl harbor to change plans for an annual ceremony in the east bay. usually they gather at the top of mt. diablo to mark the day and light the beacon at the summit. however, tomorrow they will hold that inside at the east bay

campus and light that beacon from afar. the organizer of the annual pearl harbor ceremony says the possibility of snow and ice at the top of the mountain would be a safety concern. >> let's check in with meteorologist christina loren about about what's ahead for us. >> hey, good morning to you, scott and laura. we talked to chase cain. he described the coldest point of the day around sun rise. right on point. we're at 18 degrees. 18 degrees in the north bay. that's cold enough for frost and it's going to take a while to thaw out up there. so make sure you're ready for that if you are leaving at 10:00 a.m. count on frost on the windshield. temperatures in the 30s across the bay area, most of these running a couple degrees milder but it's still going to be a cold day, temperatures only climb in the low 50s, then showers move in as we head through tonight. bundle up the little ones before walking out the door. let's talk rain. through about 8:00 p.m., santa rosa a little bit of rain. you can see here this pink is a mix of rain and snow dropping in
